I say not (ou legw). "I speak not." Christ did pray for the disciples before his death (John 14:16; John 17:9, John 17:15, John 17:24) and he prays also for sinners (Luke 23:34; I John 2:1). Here it is the special love of God for disciples of Jesus (John 14:21, John 14:23; John 17:23; I John 4:19). Note aitew and erwtaw used in practically the same sense as in verse John 16:23.
